A detailed description

The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

Aiming at the technical problems raised in the background technology of this application, the embodiment of this application proposes a parking slope control method for four-wheel drive vehicles, which aims to detect the current parameters of the vehicle in real time when the vehicle is parking on a slope without changing the braking system. , when the current parameter is in a state where the vehicle is prone to slipping, the automatic switching of the driving mode can be realized, and the high-speed two-wheel drive mode with weaker braking force can be automatically switched to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or low-speed drive mode with stronger braking force , to increase the friction between the tire and the ground, and effectively reduce the risk of walking on slopes.

Referring to Fig. 1, a kind of four-wheel drive vehicle parking slope control method of the present application is shown, and described method may comprise the following steps:

Step S101, when it is determined that the vehicle is in the state of parking brake, the current parameters of the vehicle are acquired.

It should be noted in this embodiment that the current parameters include the engine state of the vehicle, the current drive mode of the transfer case, the gear position of the transmission, the slope of the parking position, and the speed of the vehicle on the slope. The drive mode includes high-speed two-wheel drive mode, high-speed In four-wheel drive mode and low-speed drive mode, the speed of the slope refers to the speed of the front wheels.

What needs to be further explained in this embodiment is that the transfer box usually includes a high-speed drive mode and a low-speed drive mode. The high-speed drive mode includes a high-speed four-wheel drive mode (hereinafter referred to as 4H mode), a high-speed two-drive mode (hereinafter referred to as 2H mode), Modes include low-speed four-wheel drive mode (hereinafter referred to as 4L mode), in which, when the transfer case is in 4H mode, the transfer case will rigidly lock the front and rear output shafts and output torque at a ratio of 1:1, so that the vehicle Drive smoothly under complex road conditions such as terrain, and improve the dynamic stability of the vehicle; when the transfer case is in 4L mode, the transfer case will also rigidly lock the front and rear output shafts, and amplify the output torque of the transmission by more than 2.5 times. When the vehicle is stuck in deep mud and cannot be driven, the 4L mode is usually used to get out of trouble; when the vehicle is driving on a relatively smooth road condition, the transfer case can be placed in the 2H mode so that the vehicle has a higher speed. Therefore, when the vehicle is parked on a slope, the transfer case is in the locked mode in both 4H mode and 4L mode, which can restrain the front wheel from rolling, so the vehicle braking force in 4H mode and 4L mode is significantly stronger than that in 2H mode. power.

Step S102, according to the current parameters, it is judged whether the vehicle is in a slipping condition.

In this embodiment, considering the four-wheel drive vehicle in 2H mode, when parking on a road with a certain slope, only use the EPB or handbrake to brake the rear wheels, and the vehicle has the risk of walking on the slope. Therefore, by combining the current parameters of the vehicle The engine status of the vehicle, the current drive mode of the transfer case, the gear position of the transmission, the slope of the parking position and the speed of the slope can accurately determine whether the vehicle is in a slippery condition.

Step S103, when it is determined that the vehicle is in a slippery condition, control the transfer case mode switch to switch the current driving mode to a high-speed four-wheel drive mode or a low-speed drive mode.

In this embodiment, when it is determined that the vehicle is in a slippery condition, the current driving mode can be switched to a high-speed four-wheel drive mode or a low-speed driving mode with stronger braking force by controlling the transfer case mode switch, so that the braking force can be changed without changing the braking force. Under the premise of the system, the automatic switching of the driving mode is realized, and the friction between the tire and the ground is increased when standing on the slope, effectively reducing the risk of walking on the slope.

In a feasible implementation manner, step S103 may include the following specific steps:

Step S103-1, when the engine is turned off, when the current driving mode is in the high-speed two-wheel drive mode, the transmission gear is in the N/P gear, and the slope is greater than the slope threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a slippery condition, Control the transfer case mode switch 305 to switch the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or the low-speed drive mode.

In this embodiment, the driver's driving intention can be known by judging whether the transmission gear is in the N/P gear. When the transmission gear is in the D gear, it means that the driver is only stopping temporarily, and there is no need to switch the driving mode; When the transmission gear is in the N/P gear, it means that the driver has left the car or needs to park on the slope for a long time. At this time, if the current driving mode is in the high-speed two-wheel drive mode and the slope of the vehicle parking slope is greater than the slope threshold, the vehicle will exist. Slope risk, when the above three conditions are met at the same time, control the transfer case mode switch 305 to automatically switch the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or low-speed drive mode, increase the friction between the tire and the ground, and effectively reduce the risk of walking on slopes .

In this embodiment, the transfer case mode switch 305 can be physical or virtual. When it is a virtual button, the transfer case mode switch 305 can be set on the vehicle display screen or on the steering wheel, etc. The position suitable for the driver's manipulation, the present embodiment does not impose specific limitations on the form and position of the transfer case mode switch 305 .

In this embodiment, preferably, the gradient threshold can be set to 30%.

In one example, the driver drives a four-wheel drive vehicle in a high-speed two-wheel drive mode for off-road driving, and needs to park on a slope with a slope of 35% to perform operations such as road detection, vehicle chassis confirmation or maintenance. The driver pulls up the EPB switch, the transmission gear is in the N/P gear and gets off the car after turning off the engine. At this moment, this embodiment can obtain the slope of the vehicle's current vehicle parking slope position through ESP (Electronic Stability Program, vehicle body electronic stability system), after determining that the current slope is greater than 30%, control the transfer case mode switch 305. Switch the drive mode to high-speed four-wheel drive mode or low-speed drive mode to increase the friction between the tires and the ground to prevent the vehicle from sliding downhill.

Step S103-2, when the engine is not turned off, obtain the current speed of the vehicle on a slope. When the vehicle speed on a slope is greater than the vehicle speed threshold, it is determined that the vehicle is in a slippery condition, and the transfer case mode switch 305 is controlled to switch the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or the low-speed drive mode.

In this embodiment, when it is determined that the vehicle is in the state of parking brake, it is considered that if the engine is not turned off, even if the driver is in the vehicle, there is still a risk of slipping. Therefore, in this embodiment, the current speed of the vehicle on a slope can be acquired through the ESP. When the speed of the slope is greater than the vehicle speed threshold, it indicates that the vehicle has a tendency to walk on a slope. If at this time, the vehicle also meets the conditions that the current drive mode is in the high-speed two-wheel drive mode, the transmission gear is in the N/P gear, and the slope is greater than the slope threshold, the transfer case mode switch 305 is controlled to automatically switch the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode. Drive mode or low-speed drive mode, increase the friction between the tire and the ground, and prevent the vehicle from sliding downhill.

In this embodiment, preferably, the vehicle speed threshold can be set to 1 km/h.

In one example, the driver drives a four-wheel drive vehicle in a high-speed two-wheel drive mode for off-road driving, and needs to park on a slope with a slope of 35% for temporary parking, or his companions get off the car to explore the road. The driver waits in the car . At this time, the driver pulls up the EPB switch and the transmission gear is in the N/P gear. Since the vehicle only stays for a short time and the driver is in the cab, the engine is usually in a non-stop state. At this time, if the vehicle tends to roll, the present embodiment can obtain the vehicle's current rolling speed and the slope of the vehicle's parking position through the ESP. After determining that the current slope is greater than 30% and the current rolling speed is greater than 1km/h , control the transfer case mode switch 305 to switch the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or the low-speed drive mode, so as to increase the friction between the tires and the ground and prevent the vehicle from slipping.

This embodiment can detect the current parameters of the vehicle in real time when the vehicle is on a slope without changing the braking system. The high-speed two-wheel drive mode with weaker power is automatically switched to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or low-speed drive mode with stronger braking force to increase the friction between the tires and the ground and effectively reduce the risk of walking on slopes.

In a feasible implementation manner, the specific steps of step S103-2 may be:

Step S103-2-1, when the current driving mode is in the high-speed two-wheel drive mode, the transmission gear is in the N/P gear, the slope is greater than the slope threshold, and the speed of the slope is greater than the vehicle speed threshold, it is judged within the preset time whether to accept the brake. The moving pedal is triggered signal.

Step S103-2-2, when the brake pedal trigger signal is not received within the preset time, control the transfer case mode switch 305 to switch the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or the low-speed drive mode, and pass the instrument unit 306 prompts that the current vehicle is in the high-speed four-wheel drive mode.

In this embodiment, it is considered that the driver does not need to switch the driving mode when the vehicle tends to roll and actively brakes. Therefore, it is determined whether the driver has braked by detecting whether the brake pedal is activated. Operation, on this basis, by setting the time threshold, different braking strategies can be adopted according to different situations. Specifically, when the signal that the brake pedal is triggered is received within the time threshold, it means that the driver has performed a braking operation, and there is no need to switch the driving mode at this time; when the signal that the brake pedal is triggered is not received within the time threshold, That is, when the driver has no time to perform the braking operation, the transfer case mode switch 305 is controlled to switch the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or the low-speed drive mode, so as to stop the slope in time and ensure vehicle safety.

In this embodiment, preferably, the preset time can be set to 2 seconds.

In a feasible implementation manner, after step S103-1, the four-wheel drive vehicle parking slope control method may further include the following steps:

Step S104, after the vehicle is powered on, it is judged whether the engine is restarted.

Step S105 , after it is determined that the engine is restarted, the instrument unit 306 prompts that the current vehicle is in the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or the low-speed drive mode.

In this embodiment, the instrument unit 306 is used to prompt the driver that the vehicle has completed the switching of the driving mode, so that the driver can select the corresponding driving mode according to the actual road conditions during subsequent driving. To prevent the driver from being unaware that the current mode has been switched, causing the vehicle to run in the wrong driving mode and reducing the driver's driving experience.

In a feasible implementation, when the current driving mode is in the high-speed two-wheel drive mode, the transmission gear is in the N/P gear, the slope is greater than the slope threshold, and the speed of the slope is greater than the vehicle speed threshold, and after judging whether to receive the brake pedal Before the signal is triggered, the four-wheel drive parking slope control method may also include the following steps:

In step S106, the instrument unit 306 performs a slope warning to remind the driver to perform a braking operation.

In this embodiment, the slope warning can be, but not limited to, displaying the warning words "the vehicle has a slope tendency, please step on the brake pedal" on the display screen in the instrument unit 306, and/or performing sound and light alarms and other measures.

In a feasible implementation manner, the four-wheel drive vehicle parking slope control method may also include the following steps:

Step S107, when it is determined that the vehicle is in the state of parking brake, the current weather information is acquired.

Step S108, when the two conditions that the current weather information is easy to slip and the current driving mode is in the high-speed two-wheel drive mode are met at the same time, control the transfer case mode switch 305 to switch the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or low-speed drive model.

It should be noted that the weather prone to slippery cars refers to weather that is likely to cause slippery roads, such as rainy, snowy or hail weather.

In one example, the driver drives a four-wheel drive vehicle in a high-speed two-wheel drive mode for off-road driving, and suddenly encounters heavy rain and needs to stop temporarily. The driver pulls the EPB switch to park. At this time, through the multimedia function of the vehicle, the current local weather conditions of the vehicle can be obtained online. It is a heavy rainy day, and at the same time, the current driving mode is in the high-speed two-wheel drive mode, and the driving mode will be automatically switched to control the transfer case mode. The switch 305 switches the high-speed two-wheel drive mode to the high-speed four-wheel drive mode or the low-speed drive mode to increase vehicle adhesion and reduce the risk of walking on slopes.

In this embodiment, the vehicle's multimedia function can be used to obtain the current local weather conditions of the vehicle through the Internet. In rainy and snowy weather, which is easy to cause wet and slippery roads, it is only necessary to satisfy the current driving mode at the same time. If the driving mode is selected, the driving mode will be automatically switched to increase the adhesion of the vehicle and reduce the risk of walking on slopes.
